- Okay, so I mentioned BUTIK.PL last Saturday and have been working on putting together an order. I think I’ll be sending an order off this Friday. So if you live in the Twin Cities and like any of the shirts I pointed to then, or maybe this monkey, or any of these HTTP error messages, or any of the Ananke collection, or any others on the site, let me know what size, what shirt(s) and how many, and I’ll add it to the order. They don’t normally ship to the US, and it’s a pain to pay them from here, but I think I’ve got all the details worked out, and I might as well make it easier to order. Prices will be about $10-$15 per shirt.
- Here’s a good interview with Guido van Rossum (the creator of Python) about Strong versus Weak Typing. Excellent fodder if you’re a software geek.
- Honeymooners test sweet sex brew in Britain. They’re going to drink mead for a month after getting married and see how it works. Real research combining booze and sex. Woo! [some guy]
- Here’s how to do TiVo video extraction with Mac OS X. I haven’t tried it, but it looks more or less right, as I understand things.
- For sale: A cell phone wristwatch. DoCoMo made 1000 of them and test-marketed them via their website in Japan and sold out in 20 minutes. Two hours of talk-time and two-hundred hours of standby. Sounds like a winner if it’s actually usable.
- FCC vote opens door to media mergers, so get ready for Clear Channel (or Disney) to own all the Radio and TV stations, plus all the newspapers in your town. Blech.
- Tech a Key in Media Rule Change talks about the FCC rules change too, pointing out that the FCC thought the Internet would offer competition. [scripting]
- Hey, it’s official. The Justice Department says US ‘abused rights post-9/11’. Wow. I’m shocked and amazed, I tell you.
- The Mill City Museum not run of the mill. The Pioneer Press has a preview of what the museum will have to offer when it opens in September.
